In detail

The K-Pro is lightweight rope protector which provides superior cut and abrasion protection to ropes with diameters from 5mm to 16mm.
 
The high level of protection comes from combining an internal Aramid layer that sits between two layers of heavy-duty canvas. This gives far greater protection to the rope especially on the sharp right angle edges often encountered in urban environments. Plus, the Aramid offers far greater heat protection than canvas, polyester or nylon fabrics.
 
The K-Pro and Pro Pad were developed by an IRATA Level 3 technician in order to get the maximum amount of protection with the minimum size and weight when working on the oil rigs with lots of sharp metal edges and hot pipes.
 
The rope protector is placed around the rope, closed with Velcro and has two cords that can be attached to external anchors or attached via a prusik knot onto the rope. 
 
Available in 50cm or 80cm lengths.

Features

K-Pro

The K-Pro uses two layers of heavy-duty, proofed, natural fibre canvas with an additional Aramid layer in-between. This Aramid layer provides additional protection with little increase in weight or bulk. It is designed for use on areas of moderate abrasion and minimal lateral movement. Can be used to protect rigging slings and where rigged ropes cross one another. Used to protect ropes from dirt or becoming contaminated with rust or heavy grease. Also used to protect structure from rope rub and where rigging equipment is in contact with painted surfaces etc. Not for use on sharp edges (less than 3mm edge radius). Full length continuous Velcro and large connection eyes at each end to ensure effective protection and double position fixing. Supplied with two 3mm diameter cord ties. Reversible red and blue canvas combination with Aramid peep-hole.

Connection Tails - Tail Knots

Use the supplied 3mm diameter cords to attach tails at each end using a simple overhand knot in the mid-point of the cord. Ensure that each tail is 15cm to 25cm in length. Use a minimum of 3 x wraps each with an overhand pass-thro’. Tighten each overhand during this process. Secure at both ends for double security to overcome unexpected and unwanted slippage/movement.
